The films the io9 team has picked as the best science fiction and genre films of 2016 are a very motley crew. This year we loved superheroes, animation, farting corpses, live action, talking animals, and more. These are films spanning different genres, disciplines, and themes, which experienced varied levels of success. Each is worthy of acknowledgment, though, so check out what we crowned the best of the best, and worst of the worst.

In movies, there's usually a moment where everything clicks. Where the image, emotion and sound meet in perfect harmony and no matter what happens before or after, you realise you are in love with this moment. The cinema of 2016 had plenty of these moments, and we picked our 16 favourites.

You have to get past the farting. That's the key with Swiss Army Man. Once you get over the fact that the film starts with a literal butt-load of it, the first movie from the directorial duo called Daniels becomes a revelation. It's a poetic and engaging rumination on life, love, and friendship -- farts included.

There are a lot of options if you want to see a movie right now, but one that you probably aren't considering, and should, is Swiss Army Man. It's crazy, weird and awesome. Then, after you see it, you may want the soundtrack. If that happens, oh wow, are you in luck.

Video:Swiss Army Man opened in limited release this month, and we're no longer going to refer to it as the "farting corpse movie". It's so much more than that. It's a revelation, in a way, and one of the reasons is hinted at in this new clip.

Video: We've mentioned before that Swiss Army Man, which stars Daniel Radcliffe as a corpse and Paul Dano as the man who makes creative use of the corpse, swings wildly between horrifying and charming. Now we have the lyric video for "Montage". And it's...even stranger?

Video: Yes, in his new movie Swiss Army Man, the Harry Potter star plays a gassy corpse that washes up on the beach and becomes the companion of a stranded man played by Paul Dano. Thus begins one of the most insane movies in recent memory.
